Cheap Flights to Elk from HK$1,160

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Elk in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Elk in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
